What this shows Ming's Innovation Score is 40.5/100 (top 35% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ming?

Each dot is one of Ming’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Ming’s own 3.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ming's grants concentrate

Ming Shin Tools Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 16% of grants classified under B25H (Workshop Equipment, e.g. FOR Marking-out WORK; Storage Means FOR Workshops). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2021. By volume, Ming sits between Medisca Pharmaceutique Inc. and Multivac Sepp Haggenmueller GMBH & Co. KG.

Ming's three-year grant acceleration

Ming Shin Tools Co., Ltd. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
